Well, i just don’t want the backend and the database running. I kept searching since I posted this and I found a frontend only. The file was on sourceforge. It’s called: MythFrontend-0.27-intel-10.7-0.27.2-Universal.dmg.
It installed and runs okay. At least good enough for editing. I can edit and start the transcoding jobs on the backend. So I think it works, but it may not be the latest.
